Watchman Nee Quotes
By Watchman Nee0ROM 7:18Watchman Nee emphasizes the distinction between grace and law, asserting that while the law demands much from us, it offers no assistance in fulfilling those demands. He argues that God did not give the law for us to keep but to reveal our inability to do so, thus leading us to rely on Christ, who fulfills the law within us. Nee highlights that the Christian life is not about striving to please God through our efforts but about embracing the exchanged life where Christ lives through us. He encourages believers to recognize their weaknesses and trust in Jesus as the sufficient answer to every need, rather than relying on will-power. Ultimately, he stresses that it is God who accomplishes everything in our lives, transforming our approach to faith and service.
